I must do that. I understand that all the food we get now days is far removed from what they used to get way back in olden times. Sugar is about the only thing that is still the same. All bread these days is fortified with all kinds of ***t.Used to be, parents would not allow their children to eat fresh bread. It had to be at least a day old before they were allowed to eat it. I've read this in older novels from the 1800's. If you look at Sue Becker's website, you will find that she shares information about grains, wheat in particular, that goes against all the current grain fears. She, like peat, studies things deeply from scientific sources. She isn't a blogger quoting a blogger quoting a blogger. It has a lot to do with making bread with freshly ground grain, within a very short time of grinding it. You can Google her name and wheat belly and you will get a great article detailing her thoughts.
Refined sucrose has only been widely available in fairly recent times.Sugar is about the only thing that is still the same.
Surely sorts of sugar has been around for years?Refined sucrose has only been widely available in fairly recent times.

Sounds right to me.Sugar cane was discovered around 500BC. Refined sugar was been around for a long time.
Well yes, sugar in natural forms like fruit and honey has been around as long as humans have been. I guess it depends what you mean by olden times (certainly it's been around for 'years', but so have I), and how you interpret refined (refined sucrose is quite different than the nutritional package that is sugar cane juice, or jaggary or mollasses). Refined sucrose was widely available well before refined seed oils, but not long in evolutionary terms.Surely sorts of sugar has been around for years?
Oops, anglo/euro-centricism on my part revealed.Sugar cane was discovered around 500BC. Refined sugar was been around for a long time.
Maybe with a smattering of fruit in season - eg apples, berries.It would have been an interesting diet to never really eat sugar. When you read historical accounts of like viking diets it's just a ton of fish, boar, sheep, bread, greens, cheese and beer/mead. Although since they did keep bees in those times, honey sugar must have been somewhat available even if most was used for fermentation.
